Regulation 6 Accountancy and control of qualifying nuclear material
An operator of a qualifying nuclear facility must maintain a system of accountancy and control of the relevant qualifying nuclear material in each qualifying nuclear facility.
The system referred to in paragraph (1), must include in respect of the qualifying nuclear material—
the operating and accounting records required by regulations 10 and 11;
information on the quantities, category, form and composition of qualifying nuclear material;
its actual location;
the additional obligations set out in regulation 19; and
details of the recipient or shipper in the case of transfer.
The components of an accountancy and control system are set out in Schedule 2, and an operator must implement the relevant components in a manner which is proportionate to and appropriate for the basic technical characteristics of the qualifying nuclear facility as reported to the ONR under regulation 3 or 31.
An operator must retain the information referred to in paragraph (2) for a period of at least five years, beginning with the date on which each item of information is first recorded, and must, on the basis of the records described in sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (2), be able to produce and substantiate the information which it provides to the ONR in accordance with the requirements of these Regulations.
An operator must, if requested by the ONR, make the operating records, referred to in regulation 10, and the accounting records, referred to in regulation 11, available for inspection by the ONR at the relevant qualifying nuclear facility. The records may be made available in electronic form if they are kept in this form by the operator.
The system of measurements on which the records used for the preparation of reports are based must conform with the relevant international standards.
